Hot Rods New model A coupe hits the steets.

Member

So about 9 years ago I parted out my 30 coupe to be able to buy the 32 coupe I have now. I sold the body to a childhood friend. Kevin and I grew up together and we always talked about having hot rods and doing road trips and such. Well Mr Kevin now has the coupe on the road after along build process that had it's ups and down and starts and stops. Here some pics of the car. The first one is when I was driving it and it was featured in the original car kulture deluxe when hot rod magazine owned it and the photos after are the car now. Enjoy.

Nice little hot rod, but I'm confused. If the first picture was when you owned it, how did it get to the rusty condition in the second picture ? Or is that picture before you did the car yourself ?

The rust was from the body sitting in his carport while he got his business up and running. It took Kevin a long time to build the car with a new business and life and such. Kevin ended up having the body sandblasted and striped and started over when it came time for body work and such.

Ah, I see. Bet it broke your heart to see such a nice car get like that, but at least he brought it back to life and did a nice job.

I absolutely love that body and frame color. I get nostalgic looking at it, as a neighbor of mine (WW2 vet) used to literally coat his basement in that color, painting parts and tools. After my time in the service, I see why; that stuff is everywhere!
